Free 2020 calendars Pick up a free 2020 City of Stirling community calendar today! Showcasing local wildlife, the calendars are available from the City’s Administration Centre, Works Depot, Animal Care Facility, Stirling Libraries and Stirling Leisure Centres or at Karrinyup Shopping Centre, The Square Mirrabooka and Westfield Innaloo. According to Relationships Australia, meaningful social connections between neighbours can help prevent loneliness, isolation and depression. People who know their neighbours are also less likely to be victims of crime. To celebrate the importance of neighbours, the City of Stirling is offering $100 vouchers at Nollamara IGA (only) for residents to hold a Get to Know Your Neighbour event. Visit www.stirling.wa.gov.au and search ‘Get to Know’ for terms and conditions and to make an application. Keep an eye on your local bus shelter When you’re out and about in your neighbourhood, whether it’s driving or walking, don’t forget to look out for community news such as events and new initiatives advertised on bus shelters. City of Stirling is using the community bus shelters as a way to showcase what’s on and provide important information to our residents. Get to know your neighbours
